"To summarize: being a jerk is likely to fail you, at least in the long
run, if it brings no spillover benefits to the group; if your
professional transactions involve people you’ll have to deal with over
and over again; if you stumble even once; and finally, if you lack the
powerful charismatic aura of a Steve Jobs. (It’s also marginally more
likely to fail you, several studies suggest, if you’re a woman.) Which
is to say: being a jerk will fail most people most of the time."
